18mm OSB 3 Board
OSB 3 is a high-performance, engineered wood panel designed for load-bearing applications in humid conditions. Manufactured from layers of wood strands bonded with moisture-resistant adhesives under high heat and pressure, OSB 3 combines strength, durability, and cost effectiveness. It’s widely used in construction, furniture making, packaging, and interior design, offering a sustainable and versatile alternative to traditional plywood.
Product Features:
- Made from multiple layers of cross-oriented wood strands, giving it excellent structural integrity and dimensional stability.
- Designed for use in humid environments, resins and waxes provide protection against moisture absorption and swelling.
- Consistent texture ideal for painting, laminating, veneering, or finishing.
- Suitable for floors, roofs, and walls where structural performance is critical.
- Produced from fast-growing, responsibly sourced wood with minimal waste.
- Cuts, drills, and fastens easily using standard woodworking tools.
- Available in 1220x2440mm sheets, in thicknesses 9mm, 11, and 18mm
Product Benefits:
- Its durability retains strength and stability even in humid or damp conditions
- Offers excellent performance at a lower cost compared to plywood
- Uses smaller logs and renewable resources, reducing environmental impact
- Suitable for a wide range of structural and decorative applications
- Lightweight and easy to handle, with consistent density across the panel
- Reduces waste and allows for faster construction
Applications & Versatility:
- OSB 3 boards are ideal for both structural and non-structural uses, including:
- Flooring, wall sheathing, roof decking, and partitioning in timber-frame buildings.
- Shelving, furniture carcasses, worktops, and shopfitting.
- Pallets, crates, and industrial containers.
- Wall cladding and aesthetic finishes in modern interior design.
- Hoardings, site enclosures, and protective boarding on construction sites.
- Features & Benefits List:
- Store flat in dry conditions and protect from direct moisture before installation.
- Leave expansion gaps between boards to accommodate potential movement due to humidity.
- Can be painted, laminated, veneered, or left natural for industrial aesthetics.
